eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 67 It's a pity that the daughter is born

"Your Highness, I have something to offer."

Zhu Houzhao could probably guess what it was.

Wang Yue took it out from his arms, it was exactly what was explained in the previous letter.

"This book was written quickly because I have spent my entire life fighting against the Tatars in the Northwest, and I have all kinds of situations in my heart. According to His Highness's will, this "Northwest War Chronicle" is specially dedicated to His Highness."

This is a good thing.

Wang Yue went here, although he could win, but according to the historical records, he was actually...almost.

But after being idle for 15 years, this famous general has little chance to bring out an heir.His eldest and second sons, Wang Chun and Wang Shi, were not particularly capable people either. They didn't make a name for themselves in the imperial examinations, mainly because they relied on their old father to gain the official positions of Qianhu and Baihu.

So once he died, if he wanted to gain these experiences again, he would have to use blood and fire to accumulate them again.

In fact, "reading military books" was a very powerful skill in ancient times, because there are many illiterates themselves at the moment, and with the efficiency of information dissemination, where to read it?In terms of feeling, it is similar to suddenly getting a copy of "Nine Yin Manual".

Zhu Houzhao is naturally a treasure in his hands, and now the textbooks in the school are also solved.

"This is a good thing, General Wang has made great contributions to the country!"

Seeing that the crown prince agreed with it, Wang Yue couldn't help feeling a little joy in his heart, "The merit of size is not enough for His Highness to reward you so much."

The madman back then has learned to speak modestly now.

"It just so happens that I have time today. I would like to ask General Wang a few words. What is the crux of the situation here? How can I solve it once and for all?"

Zhu Houzhao took a glance, "Serve tea to the old general."

Since ancient times, courtiers have always wanted to have the opportunity to express their strategies upwards,
Only in this way can people know that you are a talented person and have the opportunity to reuse you.

Now that the prince took the initiative to ask, Wang Yue certainly had no reason not to answer.

In winter, holding a sip of warm tea warmed his hands, and it also warmed his heart in this East Palace.

Wang Yue knew that this was an important opportunity, so he thought about it seriously and said: "Your Highness asked about the solution once and for all. Forgive me for saying it bluntly. All dynasties were inevitably invaded by the northern frontier. The Huns in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Khitan... Therefore, if you want to completely wipe out the Tatars, it may be feasible for a while, but it may be difficult for a hundred generations."

Zhu Hou said in his heart that it will not be a problem after only a few hundred years.

"General, you don't have to worry about what will happen to you and me after we die. Don't you have their errands for the kings and generals of future generations? Just talk about the present."

"Your Highness means... how to completely defeat the Tatars?" Wang Yue understood somewhat,

The crown prince neither wants a few small victories, nor does he want to exterminate the Tatars, but wants to beat them so that they will have no resistance in the next few decades.

"good."

"If this is the case, there is a way. Tatar soldiers are nothing more than three characteristics: [-]. These people are born good at riding and shooting, which is hard to compare with my Mingjun soldiers; [-]. Tatars fight for plunder. They have no rules. The third is that they have no fixed place to live, even if the imperial court is hard to hit the main force. In view of the above characteristics, the imperial court has always been based on defense. However, the ministers privately think that if we really want to subdue the Tatars, we also need to have a hammer Send out elite cavalry!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, holding on to the city is not always a solution.But it is very expensive to raise cavalry, good horses, soldiers, food and grass... these are not just obtained by copying Li Guang's house.

"I promise the general that in time, Daming must have a cavalry capable of fighting! And the army must not be without a commander. After the general goes to Gansu, he will also recommend talents who are good at fighting for me."

Wang Yue knew that he was old, and the Ming Dynasty could not rely on him alone, "Yes!"

"Well. Besides that, is there any other request?"

"I want to bring someone with me."

"Say."

"Yang Shangyi, the commander of the Guangning Guard."

Zhu Houzhao used his geographical knowledge to think, "Isn't Guangningwei in the east?"

Wang Yue told the truth: "I have never met Yang Shangyi. However, his ancestor Yang Kun is an old friend of the minister. He wrote to the minister three years ago, saying that his grandson Yang Shangyi is brave and good at fighting, and he has a strategy. If there is an opportunity in the future , I hope I can take care of one or two."

"Is it credible? Could it be that the grandfather favors his grandson?"

"Yang Kun is a man, I still understand. Besides, he has more than one heir, I think I can trust him. Even if he is not a talented person, I am not a fatuous person, so naturally I will not entrust him with important tasks."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, he might as well just believe it, if it is fake, he can't do much merit, then he can't be promoted to a high official here, and he can't delay anything.

If it is true, then it will be a talent for nothing.

Moreover, he opened his mouth to ask Wang Yue to make a request, and in the end he asked the court for a small commander and acquaintance. This is really not a big deal, and it seems unreasonable to refuse.

"Okay. I promise you. After I report to my father, I will transfer this person to the northwest according to the cabinet's decree."

"Thank you Your Highness!"

After this,
Wang Yue left the East Palace satisfied.

After leaving the palace, the house rented by the family in Beijing was healed, and the servants of the mansion greeted him back at the gate of the palace.

In fact, it was exhausting to come all the way.
But Wang Yue was in high spirits, and went back happily, not only did not want to rest, but also had two grandsons to accompany him to drink a pot!
"I'm very happy today! It just so happens that after entering the army, you can't drink alcohol, so let's drink this wine at this time!"

His two grandsons, Wang Bing and Wang Lian, did not dare to disobey their grandfather's wishes, so they were naturally very obedient.

Wang Zhi also came out from the backyard, and asked a little curiously: "What good thing happened to Grandpa? How happy are you?"

In her memory, that day when the decree was announced was similar to now.

In fact, it was because the decree announced that day was similar to what was resolved today.

It is true that the imperial court appointed him as the chief officer of the trilateral system, but on the way there, Wang Yue was always worried that Li Guang was dead.

He is not the kind of person who talks about wars on paper. The border generals are fighting outside. If they do not get the support of the court, the emperor suspects you today, and the censor impeaches you tomorrow. How will this battle be fought?
So this was also the reason why he wanted to go to the East Palace.

There must be a backing.

"Your Majesty, is there a new reward?" Wang Zhi guessed while sitting on the side.

"No and no." Wang Yue smiled and shook his head.

"That is... His Majesty resolved the grievances of the past ten years for Grandpa?"

"A half of the answer is correct." Wang Yue asked his little granddaughter to keep guessing, "The real reason why grandpa is happy is because of the East Palace."

The old man let out a long sigh, "God has eyes, sent me such a powerful person from the Ming Dynasty. Although he is still young, he seems to understand the key points of the border generals, and it's not just words and deeds, but a strategy ahead of time." Grandpa hasn't gone yet, he is already clearing the way for Grandpa. He also told me that in the future, I will only worry about how to deal with the enemies outside the pass. If I, Wang Shichang, can't win such an easy battle, hehe, then the original Wenningbo is a fake!"

Although he is old, what he said is too heroic.

Wang Zhi's eyebrows flickered slightly, "This prince is really so miraculous...? Every time I come into contact with him, what can I count first?"

Wang Yue is not someone who worships blindly, he said it with a small note in his heart.

"It's a pity, Zhi'er, you are a daughter." The old man looked at his little granddaughter, "When I was about to die, Your Highness asked me to raise talents for the country. I wanted to come to Your Highness for future consideration. After all, I am old, but Your Highness You are still young, how can a young monarch only have old generals? Zhier, if you are a man, with your intelligence, grandpa has the cheek to ask you to accompany the crown prince and assist Mingjun in the future. My royal family may not be allowed to go to the next level."

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Wang Zhi's heart was already full of curiosity, what kind of ordinary person is His Highness the Crown Prince, why did her grandfather meet him once, and come back like this? !
